What happens in the process of dying and after you die???

Answer 1

Apart from sudden death, when a person dies from a chronic illness their body generally follows a patterned shutdown of organs. Often this is aided my medicine but will follow a series of liver and kidney shut down, loss of circulation to the extremeties then a cessation of breathing and heart failure. Although disturbing to watch it is a programmed and orderly ending of life as it was always going to be. As for what the dying person perceives or feels then that cannot be known; but it is important for their friends and relatives to be there for them and themselves. As for religion, well, does this not just prepare the living for their eventual death by trying to ease the mental anguish of dying and failing to live any longer - when they are after all only human??

Answer 2

When you are in the process of dying, it isn't pleasant. You will resist dying but then just let go. When a person is dead, their dead, period. The end. If something happens at all after death, it has more to do with quantum mechanics than of any religion story.

The sad thing is that we are the first generation to have the technology and general knowledge at hand to successfully extend the human life span significantly, and we simply don't do it.

The body stops functioning, the lungs cease to pump air in the body, the heart stops functioning(beating), your senses start to numb, nerves are slowed down as the mind's activity slowly stops, blood travels slower and slower through your veins. The body starts to get cold, feelings in the legs, toes, hands, fingers start to numb, breathing starts to become harder and harder. The body is slowly shutting down(in a religious sense the soul in released from the body, the life giving energy of the spirit is released). After that the organs start to get while, the body becomes colder and colder, the pupils start to dilate, the brain completely ceases its function, the skin become pale, blood is stooped completely, the body becomes dry.
After that it starts to decompose.... I won't go in the details.
The soul then travels to its spiritual resting place.

Answer 4

When you die, you are dead. That's it. Your body will be consumed by scavengers or bacteria unless it is mummified or interred in an air tight casket.

Your sense of self will die with the brain cells. What you might think of as "spirit" or "self" is simply your brain at work just like your "walk" is your legs at work.
